The Reformed Church of Ireland (1537-1886). By the Right Hon.

P. F. Ball. (Longmans, London ; Hodges, Figgie, and Co., Dublin.) —Dr. Ball's volume is a contribution of some value to ecclesiastical history, especially as regards the reconstitution of the Church after its Disestablishment. Among other portions worthy of note is the

period when such prelates as Primate Beaker flourished, prelates to whom the English supremacy was a predominant object.
